Typical for the industry, specialized repairs on heavy-duty trucks warrant a higher labor rate, which translates to larger profit margins compared to passenger cars. Saving time whenever possible is key to avoiding backlogs. The REVO Handheld is ideal for removing graphics and adhesives on heavy-duty trucks, in addition to sealing seams and curing basecoat. It even has been used to soften glue on fenders of semi trucks, so that the glue can more easily be pulled apart — significantly better than using a blow torch.
